Review & FAQ:

The Escanaba area on the northern Michigan peninsula includes 211 miles of beautiful shoreline, marshes, beaches, and wetlands, making it a popular vacation destination for nature enthusiasts. You can learn about the history of Escanaba by driving along the Maywood History Trail and the Peninsula Point Interpretive Lighthouse Trail or by visiting the Delta Country Historic Museum and the Fayette Historic Townsite.

Outdoor activities abound, and you can choose from water sports, scuba diving, fishing, hiking, cycling, and ORV trails to ship-wreck hunting from a glass-bottomed boat. In winter, the emphasis changes to cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. You can see Escanaba at its colorful best on one of several Fall Colors Scenic Drives.
